Unforgettable Ithaca Cruise - Going on the Zaharatos day cruise from Sami to Ithaca was truly the best thing we did on our holiday in Kefalonia. It was a magical, unforgettable day in every way. Arranging the trip was quick and easy, and everything was delivered exactly as promised - actually, even more than expected. The boat was nice, comfortable and spotless, with enough water, juices, fruit and snacks available throughout the journey. The stops were perfectly chosen - we had time to swim, take photos of the breathtaking scenery, and enjoy stunning beaches and a walk through charming Vathy. All credit goes to the Zaharatos Cruises team: professional, kind and always ready to help. On our return, strong winds made sailing back difficult, but they ensured a safe ferry transfer and even refunded part of the ticket price. That level of care and responsibility says it all! This trip will stay in our memories forever. Hats off to the crew and to the captain! Wishing you calm seas and great success ahead. Definitely recommended - five stars, without a doubt!

Amazing sea cruise and swim stops along the way - This trip was absolutely amazing. Friendly staff, great traditional food and fabulous swim stops. A must if you are staying in Sami. We went on the TUI premium adventure which was awful compared to this. Great value for money with plenty of time at the 3 swim stops and time for a wander around the island port. A totally relaxing day. Don't miss out on this boat scenic adventure

Happy Sailing! - This is the boat to go to Ithaca on. Great swim stops, food and drinks served, the crew are brilliant and very attentive. Our day was cut a little short due to poor weather, but they dropped the price for us can’t complain.

Zaharatos day cruise from Sami to Ithaca was excellent - We chose a day cruise to Ithaca with Zaharatos cruises and it was fabulous. The crew on the boat were friendly and attentive. We had two swim stops on the way to Vathy which were great and one on the way back. Vathy is an attractive small town with some lovely shops,cafes and restaurants. We had free refreshments on the boat following the swim stops which were most welcome. A good day out and very well with it.
